Ways to Keep “Christ” in Christmas

With the busyness and craziness of the Christmas season, I find it hard to keep “Christ” in Christmas. I don’t think it happens without planning for it. So I’m sharing some ideas on Ways to keep Christ in Christmas. Some we have done and some I’d like to do.

One of our very favorite things to do as a family is to adopt a child or family and bless them with some of their Christmas needs. Sometimes it’s a surprise and sometimes it’s not, but it is always meaningful and it’s very good to help get your eyes off yourself and onto others.

This is the child we are going to help out this year. With our time in the hospital with Drew we KNOW how expensive and draining constant trips to the hospital can be. Kayla is the granddaughter of a friend and she has Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA). Her family is in great need of assistance.

Fill a shoebox full of toys and necessities for Samaritan’s Purse. I like to do this with my granddaughters as well.

Watch some Christmas movies together. Here are a few to get you started. *These are affiliate links. Read my disclosure here.

I LOVE nativities! In fact, I love them so much I have them displayed in almost every room in the house. Some of them are 20 years old but very treasured. It’s a great way to keep Christ in front of your eyes.

I have a fun nativity ornament that would be great to make with your kids and give to Sunday school teachers. You can find it here.

If you do Elf on the Shelf. I created some cards that focus on serving others instead of just me, me, me. Free free to download them here.

There are lots of different ways to do an advent calendar. This year I did something different and took 25 large envelopes and cut out 1-25 with my silhouette machine and glued to the front of the envelope. I put a fun puzzle, craft, candy, projects, etc. inside. On the corner, I punched a hole and put a ring on it.
